return variable from PHP class to another class

Question

class department {
    function get($department,$info) {
        //do something
    }
}

class employment {
    function get($user_id,$info) {
        //do something
    }
}

$dept = new department();
$emp = new employment();

$dept->get($emp->get($_SESSION['i'],'dept'), "open");

I am trying to get the output variable from the $emp->get() function and put it into the $dept->get() function, but the output from $emp->get() is not processed by $dept->get().

How should I pass the value returned from $emp->get() to $dept->get()?

try var_dump($emp->get($_SESSION['i'],'dept')) and check if it returns something.. — Mithun Satheesh

Yes it returns something from the code including bool(true). Even echo works on the $emp->get() function, but once inside the $dept->get() function, it wont return the value — ptewee

@ptewee can you show what is the result of var_dump($emp->get($_SESSION['i'],'dept')). — Yogesh Suthar

classes are not initialised like this

$dept = new $department();
$emp = new $employment();

the proper syntax is

$dept = new department;
$emp = new employment;

Thanks, I hand wrote the question without copying direct from my code, so those were my mistakes. I've edited my question

Turned out the output from $emp->get() is an echo, not a return, so it wasn't accepted by $dept->get(). My mistake!
